Meaningless detail. Better test young people for knowledge of the holocaust itself, or the fact that the current abysmal situation in Near East is a direct consequence of it.
There's no way to teach the Holocaust without taking about places like Auchwitz. Ergo someone who can't name a single death camp by proxy barely knows anything about the Holocaust.
Not really, no. The Zionist project was already in full swing by 1939, and the events of the Holocaust only really contributed PR and marginally more people to it. Of all the factor behind the eventual success of the Zionists and the creation of Israel, none depended in any critical way on the Holocaust.
